Question is incomplete, the complete question is as follows:
A student wants to examine a substance by altering the bonds within its molecules. Which of the following properties of the substance should the student examine?
A. Toxicity, because it can be observed by altering the state of the substance
B. Boiling point, because it can be observed by altering the state of the substance
C. Toxicity, because it can be observed by replacing the atoms of the substance with new atoms
D. Boiling point, because it can be observed by replacing the atoms of the substance with new atoms
Answer:
B.
Explanation:
A student can examine a substance without altering the bonds within the molecules by examining its boiling point.
The boiling point is the property of a substance, at which the substance changes its state, which is from solid to liquid, liquid to gas and others. So, examining the boiling point will alter the bonds within the molecules as the state of substance will change.
Hence, the correct answer is "B".
Answer:
12.99
Explanation:
<em>A chemist dissolves 716. mg of pure potassium hydroxide in enough water to make up 130. mL of solution. Calculate the pH of the solution. (The temperature of the solution is 25 °C.) Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.</em>
Step 1: Given data
- Mass of KOH: 716. mg (0.716 g)
- Volume of the solution: 130. mL (0.130 L)
Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 0.716 g of KOH
The molar mass of KOH is 56.11 g/mol.
0.716 g × 1 mol/56.11 g = 0.0128 mol
Step 3: Calculate the molar concentration of KOH
[KOH] = 0.0128 mol/0.130 L = 0.0985 M
Step 4: Write the ionization reaction of KOH
KOH(aq) ⇒ K⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)
The molar ratio of KOH to OH⁻is 1:1. Then, [OH⁻] = 0.0985 M
Step 5: Calculate the pOH
We will use the following expression.
pOH = -log [OH⁻] = -log 0.0985 = 1.01
Step 6: Calculate the pH
We will use the following expression.
pH + pOH = 14
pH = 14 - pOH = 14 -1.01 = 12.99
In the problem, we are tasked to solved for the amount of carbon (C) in the acetone having a molecular formula of C 3 H 6 O. We need to find first the molecular weight if Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), Oxygen (O).
Molecular Weight:
C=12 g/mol
H=1 g/mol
O=16 g/mol
To calculate for the percent by mass of acetone, we assume 1 mol of acetone.
%C=
%C=62.07%
Therefore, the percent by mass of carbon in acetone is 62.07%
